When using FaceTime, my iMac makes noises. It dings like I am receiving an email and sometimes sounds like a busy signal, but this is while I am talking to someone. Any suggestions?

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..
Harv..

I`m using Open Directory, its been working fine for 2 months. But now all of a sudden this very annoying error keeps repeating itself.
It started happen about a week ago,and after a reboot of the server it was working fine, until now. Now the accounts is gone after 1h or so uptime, and after restart all accounts is there, but soon to be disapeared again. Anyone have any suggestion what to look for? And why did it happen in the first place?
For now theres only one user at the office so he uses my admin account (Local user on the server) to connect to shares etc. But in less then a week there will be much more people at the office, so i will need to sort this out ASAP. Appriciate any suggestions/help. thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a macbook pro and when using FaceTime outgoing calls it says connecting but it never connects, however, I can receive incoming calls. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Hi,
I have a macbook pro and when making outgoing calls on facetime I get to connecting but it never does connect, however I can receive incoming calls. Any suggestions please?

Hey there kakitiga,
It sounds like you are trying to make a call with FaceTime, it never finishes connecting to the person you are trying to reach. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
Enable "Set Automatically".
Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewall for necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.
If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
Verify the phone number or email address being used is the correct one activated for FaceTime.You can verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Verify that both parties have installed the latest software updates for their Mac and/or device. See:
Mac OS X: Updating your software
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

WHEN USING FACETIME, THE OTHER PERSON CAN SEE AND HEAR ME BUT I CANT HEAR THEM AND THEIR VIDEO IS A STILL PICTURES.. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANSWERS???

When using Facetime.. the other person can see and hear me, but I can't hear or see them.. Does anyone have any solutions?? The only thing I can see is a still picture of them

Hi mduggan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
You can find these steps and more information here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime

All the best,
Jeremy

HT204380 When using facetime how many people can you be connected to at one given time? The reason for this question is I would like to utilize facetime for conference call meetings.

When using facetime, how many people can you be connectedto at once? The reason I ask this question is, I am wanting to conduct teleconference meetings with my staff who are spread out throughout the state and I would like to be able to have seven people in total connected to facetime at once.

Currently only one person. A lot of users want to be able to FT multiple users.
Send feedback to Apple requesting it. Maybe in a future iOS update or iPad it will be available.

Have you selected which disk you want to boot from? In System Preferences, click startup disk and choose the drive you want as your default boot drive.

There have been numerous reports of FaceTime problems for the last several days and it is unclear what the cause if. Following is one of many discussions of the issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6096640?tstart=120

How much data is used when using facetime over 4g

How much data is used when using facetime over 4g. Say a 10 min call over facetime, will it use few MB or more.
Thanks,
Manish

It depends on how long you are on line. What you could do is reset your data usage in settings/general/ usage and then start your FaceTime session and check usage after your session

HT204380 When using FaceTime can other devices on my account see my call?

When using FaceTime can other devices on my account see my call?

No. However, you'll save yourself a lot of annoyance if each device has its own Apple ID for FaceTime/iMessage.

HT2452 When using Facetime why do I go mute after 3 or 4 minutes

When using Facetime or Skype why do I go mute after 3 or 4 minutes?

You probably have a email client setup on your computer, which is deleting the emails from the server. Try checking web-based email to see if they show up there.
Who is your email provider? Are you using a POP or IMAP email service?
If you're using a POP email service, you may want to take a look at this Apple doc -> Using a POP account with multiple devices

When phone not muted, why isn't there any audio when using facetime?

When phone not muted, why isn't there any audio when using facetime?

What version of iMovie?
What camera?

When using FaceTime, all other sounds are muted. This defeats functionality. When will this be corrected?

When using FaceTime, all other sounds are muted. This defeats functionality. When will this be corrected? Does anyone know of a "fix" for this problem? This definately is NOT a feature.

yes, that is exactly what mine did too. I noticed that something is wrong after receiving calls and did not hear anything.
It was like the IPhone did not realize that the headphone is not any longer plugged in. I m not sure weather I plugged/unplugged the headphones after this more than once but it startet working correctly.

When using Facetime or texting...

When using Facetime or texting, do you have to have internet?

Correct.
iPod touch: Requires Internet for texting and FaceTime.
iPhone: Requires Internet OR 3G connection for texting and FaceTime.
iPad: Requires Internet OR 3G connection for texting and FaceTime.
Mac: Requires Internet for FaceTime (no texting app as far as I know).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When using FaceTime, my iMac makes noises. It dings like I am receiving an email and sometimes sounds like a busy signal, but this is while I am talking to someone. Any suggestions?
